David, 39, went on Howard Stern’s radio show again yesterday morning (insert eye roll)  telling Howard he’s heartbroken and has been using alcohol as a way of coping with his recent split from Courteney Cox.

Arquette said that his psychologist believes he’s having a “nervous breakdown.” He sees him once a week.

“I’ve been drinking a lot,” said Arquette. “[But I don't] want to go into all that, because it’s really a personal, traumatic thing.” “Everybody’s worried and concerned about me,” he added. “When I drink, I become a maniac.” he also said his alcohol use had gotten out of hand so he’s “definitely not drinking for a long time.”

Arquette talked about his split with his ex-Courteney, 46, “This is the hardest thing anyone has to go through … You wake up and the reality hits you.”

He added: “[Courteney] said she doesn’t want to be my mother. I kind of need a mother right now. I need a girl to come bring me some soup and make sure I’m all right. I like that, and I take care of my ladies, too.”

Needing a mother figure? I don’t know if a lot of women want to play mothers to their men. What do you think?
